[quote=Anonymous]My kid is in K and most people still invite the whole class. I get why but don't love this phase as (1) I find planning a party for 20 kids exhausting, and (2) I find fielding 20 birthday invitations throughout the year exhausting as well, even if we only make it to about half due to scheduling conflicts. It's just a lot of birthday at an age where birthdays aren't that fun for the supervising adults. When does this stop? And how hard is it on the kids when it does? I know the nice thing about whole-class parties is that no one feels left out, and I'm sure once kids are inviting smaller groups, there ARE kids who are left out. My kid has friends at school but also can be a bit of a loner and I'm sure there will be parties that she doesn't get invited to but hears about and is sad. When does this shift and what can parents do to support their kids when it does, if there are any hurt feelings or your kid feels excluded?[/quote]
